Rape is a magical thing

Anybody see this? A student at CCSU wrote an editorial in their school paper called "Rape is a Magical Thing." It was a satirical piece of writing and stated such things as "Rape benefits ugly girls and prisoners" . He was demoted within the paper because of this. Thoughts on them not retracting the article/demoting him? I personally think it was distasteful and a horrid thing to write, especially on a college campus, where rape is prevalent. I don't believe he should have been demoted though, as he has the first amendment on his side, no matter how crude he may be.
 
And also, I think that it's ridiculous and absurd that the editor WHO LET THIS PIECE BE PRINTED, demoted him for it. The editor should be punished as severely as the writer.
 
ya, they are trying to determine whether you have 'First amendment rights on a college campus.' That's bullshit, of course you have the same rights you would if you weren't on a campus.
 
Ahahahahaha...I laughed, but yeah that is kinda fucked up to write that. Still shouldn't have been punished for it though, seeing as how he has the right to say whatever he wants.
 
def the editor before the writer, hes supposed to make sure that kinda stuff doesnt get published, he shoudl just wrote a note about it on facebook
 
truely seems like the editor is a real dick i mean making it like he didnt know or something and i dont think he should have been demoted like you said he was protected by the 1st ammendment but thats still pretty nasty and all....
 
I guess it was truly over the top satirical and in no way condoned rape. He made a bad joke but supposedly did a good enough job making it utterly ridiculous, that it was hard to take seriously.
 
yeah there definitely needs to be a line drawn somewhere. he deserved the demotion. did they like rescind the article or print anything about it, like we're sorry we're stupid, or anything like that?
 
that's so fucked up.; yes he has a right to say how he feels, but that's fucked up to put that in a school news paper where rape is very common. Rape is a serious crime, it's not something to talk about as "magical" and "beneficial". it's emotionally and physically damaging, and i think it's disgusting that someone would try to give off the idea that rape is an acceptable behavior. Him and the editor should of though through this more before putting it in the newspaper.
 
People need to chill out in our society, obviously if it is a satire, he is poking fun at a more serious issue at hand, because other people are too scared to "get near it" and prefer to keep it out of there minds when the truth is, it is a problem in todays time.
 
well the more i think of it.. it doesn't make me so angry. clearly he's a complete idiot for his viewpoints on it, but maybe it sparked alot of conversation about it, and brought alot of attention to something i think people try to brush off sometimes. people talk about rape so openly these days, as if it's nothing. i just would hope that after that article, there would be tons and tons of letter to the editors about it, having lots of college students expressing their personal feelings about it.
 
The student body did respond accordingly. They had an open panel to discuss the situation, along with protests (peaceful). The kid apparently had a "funny" joke that he wanted to write about, wrote it poorly, and came out with a shitty story. The editor (a terrible editor) printed it, demoted the kid for writing it, and issues an apology. The editor treated the writer poorly by demoting him, in my opinion.
 
i'm really glad the student body did something about it, that's really great and i hope people got a lot out of the student's response.

the kid just sounds ilek a fucking idiot. yes we all need to have a sence of humor, but rape i just not something to even attempt a "funny" joke about.
 
i agree for the most part. yes this is a problem, yes it is a problem that people think that by pushing something out of their mind it makes the problem not exist, yes this article brought both ideas into the spotlight, no it wasnt adresed correctly. im not suggesting a right way because there isnt a "right way" for everyone, but this article pushed a few too many buttons on some sensitive people and it is the writer getting the negative attention and the blam in the end, and people are still turning their backs on the issues he tried to raise.
 
since most schools are subsidized by the government, and thus, the school papers are subsidized by the government, school papers reserve the right to censure what they want. in this case, his article was printed, but odds are, he knew what the repercussions of this were going to me. school reporter rights are totally different from the rights of reporters working for public press institutions.
 
can someone post a link to the article to see what it actually said. cus a modest proposal was amazing... in a funny lets eat some babies sort of way.
 
;;

;The dude obviously has a twisted mind.

Maybe he was payed to write the paper as a joke??

He probably IS a rapist himself.

Or intends to be one.

Or his father was a rapist.

 
i totally agree that your rights are the same on a college campus as anywhere in the US...

and, not having read the article, or hearing anything else about it, i also think that it sounds like a very distasteful and aweful thing to write, but that makes no difference. the only problem, is if its a private school, it might get a bit messy (we're private we can do what we want, blah blah blah).

oh, and the editor demoting the kid AFTER allowing him to write it? that just sounds like the editor was looking for an excuse to get rid of him, so he let it be printed...but maybe i just like to look at everything like a mystery! thats BS if i've ever heard it.
 
yours eyes say no but my penis says yes.

i think the problem is too many people are afraid of offending people so they have to be really politically correct. anyways, the person who had the authority to do that to the kid was probably fat.
 
Sounds like classic satire. I dont see what is so appauling about this. But I find it rediculous that the writer was punished when the piece of writing was at the editor's discretion.
 
There are some things you say, and there are some things you say on paper. These are not the same things.
 
First amendment rights do not apply the same on a college campus. However, the college's administration are the ones who get to decide where to draw the line. Since the writer was demoted by his editor (who OK'ed the article), he definitely got screwed. The editor is just trying to shift the blame. Now if the administration had punished him, it would be different, because they actually have a say in what can and cannot be printed.
 
well saying vulger things is more acceptable when oral. This is because the listener can take into account the tone of voice, the body language, etc. This expresses that the person is only joking, very rarely is a person being serious when they make a racist or prejudice comment.

when on paper, the reader can not intercept such physical signals, therefore, they only see what they read, and tend to take shit seriously.
 
They'll say, "you can't joke about rape. Rape's not funny." I say, "fuck you, I think it's hilarious. How do you like that?" I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See, hey why do you think they call him "Porky," eh? I know what you're going to say. "Elmer was asking for it. Elmer was coming on to Porky. Porky couldn't help himself, he got a hard- on, he got horney, he lost control, he went out of his mind." A lot of men talk like that. A lot of men think that way. They think it's the woman's fault. They like to blame the rape on the woman. Say, "she had it coming, she was wearing a short skirt." These guys think women ought to go to prison for being cock teasers. Don't seem fair to me. Don't seem right, but you can joke about it. I believe you can joke about anything. It all depends on how you construct the joke. What the exaggeration is. What the exaggeration is. Because every joke needs one exaggeration. Every joke needs one thing to be way out of proportion. Give you an example. Did you ever see a news story like this in the paper? Every now and then you run into a story, says, "some guy broke into a house, stole a lot of things, and while he was in there, he raped an 81 year old woman." And I'm thinking to myself, "WHY??? What the fuck kind of a social life does this guy have?" I want to say, "why did you do that?" "Well she was coming on to me. We were dancing and I got horney. Hey, she was asking for it, she had on a tight bathrobe." I'll say, "Jesus Christ, be a little fucking selective next time will you?"

Now, speaking of rape, do you know what I wonder? I wonder is there more rape at the equator or the north pole. These are the kind of things I think about when I'm sitting home alone and the power goes out. I wonder is there more rape at the equator or the north pole. I mean per capita, I know the populations are different. Most people think it's the equator, I think it's the north pole. People think it's the equator because it's hot down there, they don't wear a lot of clothing, guys can see women's tits, they get horney and there's a lot of fucking going on. That's exactly why there's less rape at the equator. Because there's a lot of fucking going on. You can tell there's a lot of fucking at the equator, take a look at the population figures. Billions of people live near the equator. How many Eskimos do we have? Thirty? Thirty five? No one's getting laid at the north pole, it's too fucking cold. Guys say to their wives, "hey tonight honey, huh, tonight, huh?" "Are you crazy? The wind chill factor is three hundred below." These guys are deprived. Their horney. Their pent up. Every now and then...p-pmm...they bust out, they got to rape somebody.

Now, the biggest problem an Eskimo rapist has, trying to get wet leather leggings off a woman who is kicking. Did you ever try to get leather pants off of someone who doesn't want to take them off? You would lose your hard-on in the process. Up at the north pole you dick would shrivel up like a stack of dimes. That's another thing I wonder. I wonder, does a rapist have a hard-on when he leaves the house in the morning, or does he develop it during the day while he's walking around looking for somebody. These are the kind of thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools.

Now I've probably got the feminists all pissed off at me because I'm joking about rape. Feminists want to control your language. Feminists want to tell you how to talk. And their not alone. Their not alone. I'm not picking on the feminists. They got a lot of company in this country. There's a lot of groups, a lot of institutions in this country want to control your language. Tell you what you can say and what you can't say. Government wants to tell you some things you can't say because it's against the law. Well you can't say this because it's against the regulation. Well here's something you can't say because it's a secret. "You can't tell him that, because he's not clear to know that." Government wants to control information and control language, because that's the way you control thought...and basically that's the game their in. Same with religion. Religion is nothing but mind control. Religion is just trying to control your mind, control your thought, so their going to tell you some things you shouldn't say because they're sins. And besides telling you some things you shouldn't say, religion's going to suggest to you some things you ought to be saying. Here's something you ought to say first thing when you wake up in the morning. Here's something you ought to say just before you go to sleep at night. Here's something we always say on the third Wednesday in April after the first full moon in spring at four o'clock when the bells ring. Religion is always suggesting things you ought to be saying. Same with political groups of all kinds, political activists, anti- bias groups, special interest groups, are going to suggest the correct political vocabulary. The way you ought to be saying things, and that's where the feminists come in.

As I said, I got nothing against the feminists. In fact, I happen to agree with most of the feminist philosophy I have read. I agree for instance, that for the most part, men are vain, ignorant, greedy, brutal assholes who've just about ruined this planet...who've just...who've just about ruined this planet because they're afraid someone might have a bigger dick out there somewhere. Men are basically insecure about the size of their dicks and so they go to war over it. You don't have to be a political scientist or a history major to see the bigger dick foreign policy theory at work. It goes something like this..."what they have bigger dicks? Bomb them!!!" And of course the bombs and the bullets and the rockets are all shaped like dicks. I don't understand that part of it, but it is part of the equation. So I agree with that abstract. That man... men...males have pushed the technology that just about has this planet in a stranglehold. Mother Earth raped again, guess who..."hey she was asking for it."

 
in the last paragraph...

so i guess thats why japan attacked pearl harbour then aha.

that article is so biased and i dont agree with most in there, rape is obviously bad. but rape goes a long way if anyone has read anitaskis' thread in ladies men cult.

but i cant lie i did laugh a couple times reading it
 
I remember when people didn't hide behind amendments/laws, and somewhere along the way people in America started losing their collective spines.
 
Another example of someone writing something that isn't meant to be taken seriously, but somehow ends up being viewed that way.
 
dude i kinda hate you more than anyone on this site.

i think its fine for him to write it, but printing it in a college paper is taking it a little far.
 
And I suppose eating children isn't serious? Please...you can joke about anything, there are so many seriosu issues people joke about on a daily basis, the only reason it caused such a stir is because the subject is taboo, we don't like to talk about it, like suicide and so many other things.
 
seriously guys, if you woke up in the middle of the night and some hot bitch that you didn't know was raping you would you tell her to stop? i know i wouldn't but im just fucked up like that. oh wait this has nothing to do with this post, my bad.
 
I had a buddy who got raped. He hated this girl and she came into his room when he was blacked out and when he started to wake up, hopped on and took a ride.
